Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Dough

  • 2 packages (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or chopped
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise or cream cheese
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a circular pattern on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping slightly so the dough forms a continuous ring. Position the pointed ends facing outward to create a decorative sunburst effect.
  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded turkey, cranberry sauce, shredded cheese, mayonnaise (or cream cheese), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well blended and uniform.
  4. Assemble the Ring: Spoon the prepared filling onto the wide ends of the crescent dough around the ring, forming a circular mound of filling. Carefully fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling and tuck them neatly under the base to seal the crescent ring and keep the filling enclosed.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled crescent ring in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough turns golden brown and is cooked through, and the filling is hot and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the ring from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve warm as a delicious holiday appetizer or light meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute the turkey with cooked chicken if preferred.
  • Use your favorite cheese—mozzarella gives a mild creaminess, while Swiss adds a nuttier flavor.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the filling.
  • This crescent ring can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to bake.
  • Serve with extra cranberry sauce or Dijon mustard on the side for dipping.
